Spartacus by Howard Fast

fugitive The Von Hoffmans's considered Spartacus to be the manliest film ever. Fast's novel was the source of the movie.

The Alphabet Of Manliness by Maddox

fugitive Another manly title for manly men (mainly).

fugitive More politically incorrect macho-ishness.

fugitive Maddox's work is MUCH cruder and funnier in a different sort of manly way. Still, you can't go wrong if you're in to manly works like the Big Damn Book ...

Bigger Damner Book of Sheer Manliness by von Hoffman Brothers

fugitive Different versions. With differences!

Want to know the manliest movie ever? The recipe for McIlhenny tabasco sauce? The history of the Weber grill? Who designed the sitting naked women mud flaps for 16 wheelers? This is your book.

FYI, manliest movie ever is (obviously) Spartacus!

You can just feel the testosterone surge when your man picks up this book. I enjoy reading books about men and "manliness" primarily so I can understand the gender better. This book left me shaking my head in bewilderment several times, but my husband claims the authors are spot on. The euphamisms for females breasts had me rolling. Great book!
